A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

"I think she's not sick, she's gone mad!"

The old Marquis was furious after being injured by Lady Liu.

He then realized that Liu had deliberately lied to him the night before, and his hatred for Liu intensified.

Last night, Madam Liu said that the person to be married was Song Qingyan, but today she reacted so strongly. It is clear that Madam Liu did not intend for Song Qingyan to marry and still wanted someone else to marry in her place.

He didn't know why he ended up marrying Song Qingyan.

He didn't care.

But he couldn't let the Jiang family know that he had also participated in the substitute marriage.

Worried that Liu might let something slip, the old Marquis hastily diagnosed her condition: "Liu has gone mad. Knock her unconscious, send her back to the West Courtyard and lock her up. She must not be allowed to come out and hurt anyone again."

Liu was knocked unconscious and taken away.

With Liu Shi imprisoned, Song Qingyan will be even more isolated and helpless in the Jiang family.

Song Qingning was very satisfied with the result.

That fiery pit, a place of torment and suffering, was something she endured for Song Qingyan in her past life; in this life, Song Qingyan must experience it herself.

And the Jiang family...

Madam Jiang and Jiang Tong did not forget the purpose of their visit today.

Seeing that Lord Song was clutching his arm and anxiously seeking a doctor, Madam Jiang stopped him, saying, "Lord Song, today's matter has not yet been resolved."

Madam Jiang pulled Jiang Tong forward.

The old Marquis was bleeding and feeling dizzy. He wanted to get rid of the mother and daughter as soon as possible. "Treatment and compensation are all my obligations, the Yongning Marquis's Mansion will accept them."

But Madam Jiang then said, "What about the dowry? You must compensate for that too!"

When Madam Jiang brought up the dowry, she complained disdainfully, "This is supposed to be a Marquis's mansion, yet the dowry for their legitimate daughter is all that filthy stuff! This is clearly a deliberate attempt to fool my Jiang family! Aren't you afraid of offending Prince Rui?"

Both the eldest son and Madam Lu were furious because Song Qingyan had poisoned them.

Lord Song then sent word to Lady Liu to prepare her dowry.

He also had his own selfish motives.

At that time, the rumors that Jiang Sheng was favored by Prince Rui were not so widespread, and he did not want to give too much dowry. If Jiang Sheng really passed the imperial examination, he would compensate him later under other pretexts.

But no one expected that Liu would prepare such a meager meal.

We should replenish some supplies now, otherwise it will be detrimental to the Marquis's residence if it gets back to Prince Rui.

"My dear in-law, please calm down," the old Marquis said with a smile.

His attitude made Madam Jiang even more smug.

"My lord, the Jiang family is not the same as it used to be. The Yongning Marquis's mansion is ultimately composed of military officers. Military officers have a less promising future than civil officials. You should understand this better than I do. I hope you will consider carefully how much to supplement the dowry."

Is she planning to ask for an exorbitant price?

The old marquis was displeased, but had no choice but to compromise.

He cared about Song Shiyin and Jiang Sheng, hoping that the Yongning Marquis's mansion would have civil officials to assist them in the court. Moreover, if Jiang Sheng was truly valued by Prince Rui, the assistance would only be greater.

"I know," the old Marquis said.

Song Qingning stood quietly to the side, watching her grandfather's dilemma and looking at Madam Jiang's ugly face.

Judging by the time, the results should have been released by now.

Soon, Grandfather will no longer be in a difficult position.

Just as I was thinking this, a servant rushed over; he was the one the old Marquis had sent to check the list.

The servant, panting but beaming with joy, exclaimed, "He passed the imperial examination! He passed! He's at the top of the list! He's at the top!"

Jiang Sheng is at the top?!

"Really?!" The old Marquis was excited.

Madam Jiang subconsciously slapped her thigh, "Oh dear, my Sheng'er! I knew Sheng'er was the reincarnation of the God of Literature, destined to win first place! And he really is number one!"

Overjoyed, Madam Jiang thought she was in her own home and hurriedly ordered her servants, "Set off firecrackers, quick, set off firecrackers, make sure the neighbors can hear the noise."

Jiang Tong reminded her, "Mother, this is the Yongning Marquis's residence."

"What's wrong with the Yongning Marquis's mansion? Sheng'er is the legitimate son-in-law of the Yongning Marquis's mansion, which is bringing honor to the Yongning Marquis's mansion as well," said Madam Jiang.

Song Qingning looked at Madam Jiang like a clown.

But dreams, too, must shatter.

"Who is at the top of the list? Is it my brother?" Song Qingning asked the servant.

The servant said, "Yes, it's the second young master, the second young master is number one."

The old Marquis, Madam Jiang, and Jiang Tong were all taken aback.

The old Marquis had subconsciously assumed that Jiang Sheng was at the top of the list, but unexpectedly, it was Shi Yin.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Old Marquis Song, disregarding his injured arm, excitedly raised his arm and exclaimed, "Good, good, Shiyin! My Song family's descendants are indeed promising! Shiyin has not let me down after all these years of careful cultivation!"

"How could it be the second young master of the Song family? Where is Sheng'er?"

Madam Jiang stepped forward and grabbed a servant, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? The one at the top should be Jiang Sheng!"

Servant: "Madam, I'm not mistaken, the top spot on the list is indeed our second young master."

"What about Jiang Sheng? Is he in second place? The difference between the top and second place isn't that big. There's still the palace examination later. The key is who will become the top scholar." Jiang Tong felt that settling for second best wasn't a bad idea.

"My lord..." The servant's expression was somewhat unnatural.

He was originally ordered by the old Marquis to check the son-in-law's ranking, but the name "Song Shiyin" was too conspicuous at the top of the list.

Then he searched for the son-in-law's name, but...

"Speak your mind," said Old Marquis Song, his tone much firmer.

Song Shiyin has already topped the list, so no matter what Jiang Sheng's ranking is, his manor will still be in a good position.

"I searched all the names on the list, but I couldn't find the young master. He must have... failed the exam."

The servant's words struck Madam Jiang and Jiang Tong like a thunderbolt.

"Failed the exam? You're talking nonsense! How could my Sheng'er have failed the exam?" Madam Jiang shouted, her voice cracking. "I think you're illiterate and don't even recognize my Sheng'er's name!"

Madam Jiang glared at the servant and turned to walk out of the Marquis's mansion.

She wanted to see it for herself.

Sheng'er is diligent and hardworking, and even Prince Rui has his eye on him, so how could he possibly fail the exam?

Song Qingning watched Madam Jiang's retreating figure. In her previous life, she had also been skeptical and insisted on seeing for herself, but the result remained unchanged.

It even caused trouble.

In this life, she's going to be foolish enough to bring trouble to the Jiang family again!
